Well I don't know how to explain it correctly. Here, check this screenshot which has what I want to make. My designer gave me this. If I don't find a solution i'll use images and no code. Is it possible to do this with CSS3?

Here is the image

See the triangle inside that box? I want to do this. Thank you!

Creative use of borders to achieve this effect, no images were harmed in the following sample and you can even set the position of the arrow on the element itself - becomes more straightforward if you can hardcode it for your design.

HTML

<div class="top">
    <span class="arrow" style="left:40%"></span>
</div>

CSS

.top {
    background:url(http://blog.positscience.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/ice-cream3.jpg);
    background-size:cover;
    width:300px;
    height:300px;
    border:1px solid #888;
    position:relative;
    overflow:hidden;
}
.arrow {
    border:30px solid #aaa;
    border-bottom:none;
    border-color:transparent #aaa transparent #aaa;
    position:absolute;
    left:0;
    bottom:0;
}
.arrow:before, .arrow:after {
    content:'';
    position:absolute;
    width:5000px;
    bottom:0;
    height:30px;
    background:#aaa;
}
.arrow:before {
    right:30px;
}
.arrow:after {
    left:30px;
}
